S&Ds welcome final deal on the reform of the Emissions Trading System (ETS)

S&D - Socialists and Democrats

Brussels, 9 November 2017

After lengthy negotiations, representatives of the European Parliament, the Commission and the EU Council yesterday evening finally reached an agreement to reform the EU Emissions Trading System. The S&Ds pushed for ambitious measures to make sure that the system delivers the required 43% cut of CO2 emissions in ETS sectors by 2030.

Jytte Guteland MEP, who is the S&D spokesperson for the file, said:

S&Ds want more ambitious legislation to promote the use of renewables in transport

S&D - Socialists and Democrats

"Today the Transport committee in the European Parliament rejected a lukewarm proposal on use of energy from renewable sources. The S&D Group could not support the opinion on the Industry and Energy committee's final report, which was too limited in scope.

The S&D group clearly opposed a conservative attempt to weaken the ambition of EU renewable targets, instead calling for national binding targets on renewables for all Member States.

The Commission’s Impact Assessment recognises that around 95% of vehicles on Europe's roads still have an internal combustion engine (ICEs), which means that upgrading ICEs and improving the quality of fuels will offer significant benefits.
